So if StoreSecured is compliant already why do I need to be compliant also?

As your shopping cart vendor StoreSecured is compliant however this does NOT mean that you do not need to perform your own scans in order for you to be pci compliant. PCI Compliance means that not only do you use PCI Compliant vendors but you also are compliant yourself.

Who should use this service?

Many gateways are now requiring their clients to use a particular PCI Scanning company to verify your pci compliance. If you are already using a pci compliance scan through your gateway then you do not need another scan. However if your gateway is requiring proof of compliance and you do not yet have a scan being done of your website then the ControlScan product is perfect for you.

What is PCI?

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a set of requirements designed to ensure that ALL companies that process, store or transmit credit card information maintain a secure environment. Essentially any merchant that has a Merchant ID (MID).

To whom does PCI apply?

PCI applies to ALL organizations or merchants, regardless of size or number of transactions, that accepts, transmits or stores any cardholder data. Said another way, if any customer of that organization ever pays the merchant directly using a credit card or debit card, then the PCI DSS requirements apply.

What can you expect if you add an Amazon Payments checkout or payments solution to your site?
• Reach new customers: Amazon’s checkout and payments solutions make it easy for Amazon’s 88 million active account holders to buy on any site accepting Amazon Payments. Every Amazon.com customer account is enabled for this service, and we’re letting our customers know how they can use their account on the Amazon Payments network beyond Amazon.com.

At StoreSecured our goal is to continually offer features and add-ons that will help our customers grow their businesses. We invite you to take advantage of Amazon Payments’ free processing offer thru September 30.

Please note that the Amazon Checkout integration does have certain limitations due to differences in Amazon Checkouts shipping and tax calculations etc. Please read and understand the limitations before activating Amazon Checkout in your store. This is a third party checkout method similar to PayPal Express Checkout and Google Checkout and will show up on your view cart page and not at the final checkout screen.
